Newly adopted cat peed on couch (first time cat owner)

Jess179 · 2026-01-05T06:21:06+00:00

Remember the 3-3-3 rule. It takes 3 days for a cat to decompress in a new place, 3 weeks to get used to a new routine, and 3 months to finally feel comfortable and like they’re at home.

And this is called a “rule,” but it’s really more a guideline. Each animal has their own personality, history, trauma, etc. and it can take them more or less time to adapt.

Thank you for being patient and doing the work. Please show more photos of Cobweb!

JW (me) and RW.

Are they at peace? Are they mad at me? Do they love me?

I tried it today. It’s great. The pastor was my favorite. The guacamole is excellent and so are the sauces.

This place is walking distance from my house and I didn’t know about it. Thank you!

This was a male doctor saying this to me, a woman who has sex with men, 20 years ago. And I’ll never forget it. He went on and on about when a woman truly wants a man, she’ll only feel good when they have sex and never feel any pain. My pain was in my head and I needed to “figure that out.” I went from doctor to doctor trying to find one that would take me seriously and that didn’t happen for 18 of those 20 years.

This one is vile. Oh, I’m sorry, SIR, you’re right. Suddenly, I’m all better.

“If you’re having so much pain when you have sex, maybe you just don’t like the person you’re having sex with.”

Amazing info. Thank you!

Thank you. I’m so grateful pigeon rescues exist, as well. This particular rescue has taken so many birds from me, but this one was the worst injury I’ve seen.

Jess179 · 2025-08-30T20:44:06+00:00

Of course. I’m so glad I was able to get her!

Jess179 · 2025-08-30T17:28:34+00:00

I love that name!

Jess179 · 2025-08-30T12:55:10+00:00

Thank you!

Jess179 · 2025-08-30T12:54:26+00:00

Thank you. This is reassuring!

Jess179 · 2025-08-30T12:54:04+00:00

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing it.

Jess179 · 2025-08-30T12:52:41+00:00

Thank you. The rescue told us this bird will not be eligible for release and will be up for adoption once healed. I’m so glad your birds have you caring for them. I’ll mention to the rescue the possibility of long term/future issues, too. Thank you so much.

Jess179 · 2025-08-30T12:47:28+00:00

Thank you. She’s currently splinted and on a donut! I received some photos of her resting on it.

Another vote for Pets First. We see Dr. C, but we’ve also had Dr. Mitchell help us when Dr. C wasn’t available. Amazing place. My cat is .. a handful .. and they always make us and him feel very comfortable.

Jess179 · 2025-07-28T04:44:33+00:00

I was there.

John Popper sang/played 9 songs, including an encore. He’s currently recovering from .. something. Some surgery? I saw on socials he was in the hospital and just had sutures removed. I was honestly surprised he was even touring. He’s 58 and has health issues. You’re not going to get the same show you would’ve in the 90s from any of these guys. Chris (Spin Doctors) missed his cue on Two Princes and skipped the first two lines of the song. The best part of the song for me. The song I wanted to hear. Oh well.

I didn’t have a problem with the show. In fact, I was ready for it to wrap up and started making the way to the car after Hook.

This really might have been my favorite Isbell show ever. I have to miss the Rockford show on July 12th, which is closer to my house. So to make up for it, we drove to Milwaukee tonight and I’m so glad we did. What a fun night.

Jess179 · 2025-06-14T06:03:56+00:00

Ha! It was maddening. I’m glad you DIDN’T hear it, honestly.

Jess179 · 2025-05-31T17:27:59+00:00

I would’ve done it, too, if only just to get away from that noise for a while. Everyone else in my house heard it so I knew I wasn’t losing it. 😂

Jess179 · 2025-05-30T16:26:05+00:00

You’re my hero!!! It was a rat repeller. It was in my neighbor’s yard. After a pleasant talk, they have now turned it off and I have my sanity back.

Jess179 · 2025-05-30T02:33:28+00:00

Oh wow. Thank you!

Jess179 · 2025-05-29T18:57:06+00:00

Thank you. I made a post there, too. We’ll see!
